Parents peeved at large class sizes ByDevTobin

Clarksville Elementary School Principal Joseph Schaefer thought a short intro­duction on the elementary long­range planning process would be a good lead-in to a public input session Thursday, but he had not counted on a deep res­ervoir of parental anger about elementary class sizes through­out the Bethlehem Central School District.

For more than an hour, par­ents peppered Schaefer (stand­inginforSuperintendentLeslie Loomis, who was at a BOCES conference) with questions, mostly about how the prospective elemen­tary classroom expansion could help deal with what parents consider a class-size crisis.

Snap pie

The average elemen­tary class size next year will be between 23 and 24, and many parents argued that their kids are suffering as a result.

"My daughter went through a first-grade of 25 and never got any individual help," said Deirdre Jameson.

'The No. 1 issue is class size, and the first thing you must do is make the decision that the number is too high,"

Bonventre said GeorgeCarpinello. . "Until you make that

decision, it's meaningless to go.through this process."

· "You cannot know the number of rooms you need until you decide class sizes,"

added Hal Rosenthal. ''I'm concerned that this whole process is an afterthought to appease a Jot of unhappy elementary par­ents."

Karen Bon ventre said that the elemen­tary expansion in the late 1980s created unusable space at Glenmont Elementary School, exacerbating the current situa­tion in which the school cannot house all its kindergarteners.

Schaefer replied that concerns that parents expressed over class size during this year's budget deliberations "did not fall on deaf ears," and that the board's decision to look at creating more space at the elementary level was, in part, a re-. sponse to those concerns.

But several parents said thatthe expan­sion plans are predicated on keeping class sizes roughly where they are.

More than 50 people attended the ses­sion in the Hamagrael Elementary School cafeteria, and after the hour of questions, they settled into small groups to consider the options developed by the elementary planning committee.

Elsmere school repairs cost less than predicted ByDevTobin

An emergency repair project at the Elsmere El­ementary School cost much less than estimated, even though asbestos floor tiles were involved, Franz Zwicklbauer, assistant super­intendent for business, said at last week's Bethlehem Cen­tral sdwol board meeting.

Zwicklbauer originally esti­mated that the tile replacement would cost $25,000, and up to three times as much if asbestos was involved.

He noted that the cost so far, with most of the work com­pleted, was about $15,000.

Delmar farmers' market finds new site at CDTA lot

By Joshua Kagan

After a two and one-hal(month investigation, two suspects have been arrested and charged with robbing the Boston Chicken res­taurant at Delaware and Elsmere avenues in Elsmere on June 4.

Erica T. Henning, 20, of 39 Ontario St., Albany, was arrested Thursday,andJohnnyHayden,31, of 1580 Third Ave., Albany, was arrested the following day. Both were already in Albany County jail, Henning awaiting trial and Hayden serving a sentence, on unrelated charges in Albany.

Both suspects were charged with two counts of first-degree robbery, one count of second­degree robbery, and one count of third-degree grand larceny. Both were indicted by an Albany County grand jury.

Henning and Hayden were arrested by Bethlehem Detectives John Cox, Joe Mastriano and Chris Bowdish.

"These are very serious

charges," Bethlehem Police Lt. Frederick Halligan said. 'They're looking at a good long time if they're convicted."

Both suspects were arraigned beforeAlbanyCountyCourtJudge Thomas Breslin, pleaded not guilty and were returned to Albany County jail.

Henning has been il) jail since June 18 awaiting trial on a charge of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance for allegedly selling cocaine to a police infor­mant. ·

She also was arrested Monday, Aug. 21, and placed in solitary confinement for her role in a brawl in which five prison guards were injured.

During the melee, guards said she wielded the seat portion of a weight bench from the jail gym to keep guards at bay. She allegedly began the uprising.

Hayden is serving a six-month sentence for felony driving while intoxicated.

Police said the suspects broke into the restaurant around 9:30 p.m. on June 4, forced five store employees into a walk-in rnnlf"'r and stole $3,953. A pump-action shotgun and a semiautomatic handgun were reportedly bron­dished by the robbers. Holli!"en said both Hayden and Henning handled a gun during the robbery. The employees were rescued half an hour later by another employee returning for his bicycle.

Halligan said the arrests were a result of an "extensive inv!'sti{!"a­tion" by Bethlehem police. Foren­sic evidence, information from witnesses and "a lot of legwvrl'" led police to the suspects.

Cox led the investigation, which included Mastriano and Bowdish.

Halligan said to expect one or more additional arrests, althm1~h it was originally reported that only three perpetrators were involved in the robbery.

''We have reason to believe there were more than three p0ople involved," he said.

Clarksville PTA urging seniors back to school

This year the Clarksville Ele­mentary School PTA is expanding its volunteer program in the hopes of attracting senior citizens back to the classroom.

PTAco-presidentJ ane Sanders said Clarksville teachers were contacted about the possibility of senior volunteers at the end of the school year, and that those who responded were ''very enthusias­tic" about the idea.

Sanders said senior volunteers would be an asset both for them­selves and the children. "There are a lot ofkids at school who don't see older people," and many sen­iors who are available to help out, she said.

Further, she added, for seniors, it's an opportunity to get to know what's going on in the school and to get a clearer idea of how taxpay­ers' dollars are spent.

At the same time, the school can take advantage of the seniors' knowledge and expertise.

Jane Sanders Olive Street, just off Route 443 in Clarksville. Parent volunteers will continue to be welcome at the school. "We could use people as much as they'd like to come in," she said.

For information about becom­ing a senior volunteer, call Sand­_ers at 439-0991.

Local woman promotes American Indian Keepers By Eric Bzyant

Vrnce Dwyer remembers the curses tossed at him when he was growing up as a child in North Albany. ''You really want to forget about those experiences some­times. I remember beingcalled a dirty Indian or whatever," Dwyer, a Seneca of the Tonawanda band, said. 'That's one of the reasons we formed this group. It gives people a chance to get together and talk about their life experiences."

The group is the Keepers of the Circle, a local American Indian cultural community center whose temporary office is the front room of Dwyer's McNutt Street home off Central Avenue in Colonie.

The four-year-old organization, which includes about 20 local American Indians and 180 more non-natives, hopes to seive as a focal point for the native cultural community in the area.

"It's an educational group mainly," said Ruby Beaulieu of Slingerlands, the Keepers' chair­man. "One· of its purposes is for natives to be able to re-learn about their culture. We also hope to educate the public," she said.

The Keepers of the Circle meet mimthlyinAlbany, but the group's annual highlight is an inter-tribal pow wow that this year will be Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 23 and 24, at the Schenectady County Airport.

Beaulieu and Dwyer, who is this year's pow wow committee chairman, said the event has drawn thousands in the past thre~years. American Indians from across the country and Canada will come to dance and perform at the event. The public is welcome. 'There's

The new Bethlehem Youth Court, sl:affed. by high school Edit 0 ria Is volunteers, WJll soon be func­tioning rs an alternative jus-tice system for non-violentfirst-time juvenile offenders with an admission of guilt

For us in Bethlehem, this is a new concept, and we11 be watching its work with interest. All of the court's staff including attorneys, judge, and jury, will be high school students. This kind of court has proved successful in other locales, Colonie for example.

The coordinator of Youth Court, April Cook, will begin work this fall coordinating staff training sessions. She hopes the court will be ready for its first session in]anuary.

The sentence that a kid receives will include local com­munity service, counseling or restitution, depending on the nature of the offense. Following this, the youthful offender will return to the court and serve on a jury.

The Bethlehem Youth Court promises to be a fine oppor­tunity for our young people to help and be helped by their peers. We hope that the youth who appear before Youth Court will benefit from the enlightened and compassionate treatment accorded them and the lessons in good and effective citizenship they receive in this new town venture.

Alan Mapes, who has worked at Five Rivers for 21 years, is moving on to become acting director of environmental education throughout New York state. During the time he has been at the Delmar environmental educational center, its facilities and services have increased significantly in number and scope.

It is a measure of his competence and effectiveness that he is moving on to a position in which he will oversee Five Rivers and two other similar centers in addition to three environmentally-oriented summer camps for teens. Mapes has been the author of several extremely well received Points of View published in The Spotlight. His many friends and acquaintances in Bethlehem would no doubt be inter­ested in reading his viewpoint concerning the public's stewardship of the environment.

Better safe than sorry None of us should be so naive as to think that an assailant

or burglar won't take advantage of an unlocked house or apartment. One of our acquaintances says, almost with pride, "Oh, I never lock my doors."

Recently, there have been several instances in Bethle­hem of burglars entering houses through unlocked front doors while homeowners were working in the back yard and of assailants gaining entry through unlocked doors to attack women in their homes.

Because there has be~n no such incident in your neigh­borhood doesn'tmean that you and the area where you live are immune. It just means that your tum hasn't come yet

It's plain good common sense to keep your doors locked, and the ground floor windows of your house locked; too. It's a sad commentary on life today in our cities, villages, and hamlets, but we all have to guard against illegal entry.

Careful!/ kids crossing The start of the new school yearisjustaround the corner.

And that means that there11 be schoolchildren crossing streets to catch school buses and walking beside the road in areas where there are no sidewalks.

From experience, most drivers are aware that visibility is poor during the morning and afternoon rush hours when the sun is at eye level and shining into their eyes.

Not all school kids go home by bus in the middle of the afternoon. Some have sports and other extracurricular ac­tivities, and walk home during the after-work rush hour.

Constant vigilance while driving will go a long way toward protecting the lives of our towns' children.

Cut spending, not services The author of this Point of View

I By James J. Sheedy :

There's not much to celebrate this Labor Day, as working mer\ and women across the state anq the nation face dangerous attacks from our state capital and frorri Washington.

Point of View Years of cutbacks and scrimp­

i!lgin services, travel and supplies have left most agencies so lean that they only have one place left to cut -their workers.

And if more public employees are fired, who will perform the vital services the public needs and deserves?

Who will make sure our air and water are clean, our schools are safe for our children, nursing homes are safe for our parents and that our worksites are free from health hazards?

The suggestion that the work can be done by the private sector is frightening.

Do-we want people hired to do those jobs because they are the

for ourselves, our families and our futures.

While we fight the attacks on the state level, we mustnotforget to guard ourselves from the as­saults from the nation's capital, where the radical right in Wash­ington is threatening to slash fed­eral aid to states.

Those cuts would hurt New Yorkers more than other Ameri­cans, as many state agencies, such as the departments of Social Ser­vices and Labor, receive the bulk of their funding from Washing­ton.

These attacks on working Americans show that it's time for a change.

It's time forworking Americans 'to get notices of pay raises and improved benefits instead of no­tices of layoffs.

Gov. Pataki is refusing to reveal his plans for state agency cuts, a decision that is spreading fear and low morale across the state. The state's economy is feeling the pain. --·Enough is enough.

months after the state budget battle took $600 million and 12,000 jobsoutofthepublic sector, we are once again unfairly targeted as the main source of budget savings.

It's time forworking Americans to be able to believe their children

will be betteroffthan they've been.

To make matters worse, Gov. Pataki is refusing to reveal his plans for state agency cuts, a decision that is spreading fear and low morale across the state.

As history has shown, these important changes will only come with a strong la­bor movement that speaks up for our families, commu­nities and futures.

In the coming year, the

The state's economy is feeling the pain, too, as worried families hold on to their hard-earned dol­lars amidst the uncertainty.

Enough is enough. The New York State Public

Employees Federation has chal­lenged the Pataki administration to come clean about its plans for reducing the state work force so that we and the public can take part in a rational, common~sense approach to cutting the state's spendingwithoutcuttingthehear1 out of state services.

Instead, the administration con­·tinues to spread the myth about a ''bloated bureaucracy," neglecting to adrriitthatthe state's workforce has been steadily declining since 1991.

It's time for us to stand up, to raise our voices against these attacks and to reclaim New York

Public Employees Federa­tion looks forward to the task of working with concerned individu­als, community groups and elected officials in our effort to stop those who wo~ld destroy the important services our state provides for ev­ery citizen.

Agenda format change Editor, The Spotlight:

As an attendee at the last New Scotland town board meeting, I . was appalled by the negative knee­jerk reactions to any of coun­cilwoman Victoria ~amundo's proposed resolutions.

The audience vehemently op­posed any of her proposed changes. If some members of the audience had directed their en­ergy from heckling to thinking, I'm sure they would have been able to recogiJ.ize some benefits of her proposals.

One point that drew strong opposition was Ms. Ramundo's suggestion to improve the current "agenda" format. She proposed that "members of the public who wish to present a topic to the board shall be placed on the agenda for the next regular meeting if such request is received by the supervi­sor ... such request shall be at­tached to each board member's copy of the agenda."

As it stands now, the Town of New Scotland has no mechanism for residents to contribute to the agenda of the town board meet­ings. Absolutely none. One must wait to the closing "comments

from the floor" section.

This portion often transpires fairly late at night, and usually only the lingering audience members are present. Ms. Ramundo's pro­posal was designed to open ac­cess to government; it was not a "gag order" as someone stated.

Councilwoman Ramundo's proposal would have established procedures already practiced in other towns.

For example, one of Guilderland's deputy clerks stated that a Guilderland resident could request a topic to be placed on the agenda by communicating this request (preferably by mail) to the supervisor.

Even in the Town of Bethle­hem, any resident can make a topic request, but it is still left to the discretion of the supervisor to place it on the agenda at the town board meetings.

Councilwoman Ramundo's resolution would have given all residents a legitimate place on the agenda and an equal opportunity to be heard.

Recycling of cardboard Editor, The Spotlight:

We were delighted to note, in your Bethlehem Recycling Cor­ner column, that on Aug. 14, pa­perboard box recycling resumed on a voluntary basis.

Letters A recycling bin will be at the

Town Hall parking lot for single layer cardboard boxes. Cereal, cookie and cracker boxes are ac­ceptable. Flatten all paperboard boxes and remove contents and liners. Give it a try! You will be amazed at how much less trash you will have by removing the cardboard boxes. It would be a good project for the kids.

We commend Sharon Fisher on her excellent job as recycling coordinator and the Town ofBeth­lehem on its progressive atlitude toward addressing solid waste issues.

Mary L. LoGiudice Bethlehem Work on Waste

We don't need Southgate Editor, The Spotlight:

My wife and I are not in favor of the proposed Southgate Mall proj­ect. Bethlehem is a small, family­oriented community and should remain that way.

The Rubin Organization is from Pennsylvania. It's not trying to help Bethlehem. It wants to make money, and it happens to be at our expense.

just because the Rubin Organi­zation has owned this parcel for 20 years does not entitle it to any­thing. It made its choice to own the parcel, and paying taxes on land is part of that decision.

Now it feels the time is right to shoehorn a 424,000 square foot mall into a small community. That isn't doing Glenmont or Delmar any favors.

There are already plenty of small businesses struggling in Be­thlehem.

The traffic on 9W is already nuts. You could be killed getting your mail.

Traffic density both in the morning and afternoon is another

problem. Anytime traffic is backed up by 25 vehicles for three con­secutive traffic lights something is wrong.

Certainly the magnitude ofthis mall suggests that it is not intended to serve Bethlehem. If it isn't to serve Bethlehem, we need to ask what the effects of pouring thou­sands of people into our town daily will be.

Do we need another area for skateboarding, muggings, robber­ies or teen gangs to hang out in?

The problem is that most people that live in Bethlehem have lived here so long that they don't have any large-scale growth to compare this to.

We don't need Southgate so that we can end up like Clifton Park.

Developers and construction companies exist to serve commu­nities. Not the other way around.

They should not be looking for "make work" so somebody doesn't lose money.

Editor, The Spotlight: , . ·. .·.· .· ' About noon on Aug. 18 at ColVin and Central avl:mu~s in

Alb'iffiy, I came upon an itinerant merchandiser frornCoeur D'Alene, Idaho. His product was flags. The license plate on his'· vehicle is from Idaho. He told me the name ofthecity. ·

As. an adherent to The Flag Code, my interest was aroused upon seeing displayed among his wares several stars and stripes which were, I consider, desecrated with varying pictures applied to the red and white striped area.

When I asked if they were American flags he responded that they were in part. He professed not to know where they were made or if they were imported. He saw no violation in having the face of an American singer shown on the flag. He declined my offer of a copy of The Flag Code.

We know that The Flag Code has no enforcement provisions. However, it occurs to me that a state or local law should be en­acted to stop the sale of the American Flag which has imprinted on it the items set forth in section 176(g) of the code.

If New York state tax laws can establish measures to exempt the American Flag from sales tax, it tells me t:hat legislation can be considered, statewide or .locally, for setting penalties for displaying or selling the stars and stripes which are violated with

Reilly committed to efficient government Editor, The Spotlight:

I think it needs emphasizing that as supervisor of the Town of New Scotland, I have no strong personal feelings regarding the upgrading of town hall.

I do, however, have a very strong commitment to do what­ever is most fiscally responsible and efficient iri the operation of town government on behalf of the taxpayers.

I would invite any and all tax­payers to visit the assessor /build­ing department and town hall, tour the facilities and form their own opinions. Remember taxpayers, this is your money.

Letters Over the last eight years, you

and I together have built two bridges, put a $60,000 roof on the highway garage ahd protected our environment with new fuel tanks and a salt storage building.

We've purchased five trucks with plows and sanders, a large tractor and built a $270,000 com­munitycenterwhich serves all age groups of the town. We have two beautiful parks.

Recycle vacant space in town Editor, The Spotlight:

I've recently read the Aug. 16 issue of The Spotlight and found interesting back-to-back articles.

ori· page 4, the Southgate ar­ticle states there is a "landscape littered with empty stores," and the adjacent article on page 5, "BC narrows elementary options," expresses the need for future space in the Bethlehem elemen­tary schools.

Maybe a consideration should be given to recycle some of the vacant retail space or office space in the district for classroom space,

· at least as a temporary solution.

partial conversion of a building in return for a 5-year least. I know we want to keep retailers in Bethle­hem, but why waste the space?

This may be more cost-effec­tive than a permanent addition or · new building,- and one day you won't be lest with space which is not needed.

I will have a child in the middle school in 1996-97 and another in kindergarten in a few years.

If this creates a savings, that savings could be budgeted for more teachers so that our class­rooms may be kept to a smaller size.

We paid off $848,229 in town debt and eliminated a $340.000 deficit. We now have enough re­serves in the bank to carry us through tough times when the state and county are tardy in their payments to us.

When you take the $110,000 needed to bring the existing build· ings up to code out of the esti· mated cost for enlarging town hall, the total cost of the addition would be substantially reduced.

If the town board chose to pay it off in five years and avoid long term interest costs, it would cost a taxpayer with a home appraised at $125,000 less than $10 per year.

Until recently, the town board has been supportive of this solu· tion to your town's needs. Architect's fees were approved in November 1993 and were listed as a line item in the 1994 and 1995 budgets.

A review process was begun in . June 1994 to select an architect. Ms. Ramundo made the motion last February to hire the architect. Now she seems to have done an about-face.

The opposition to improving the efficiency of town business is simply a smoke screen thrown out to camouflage the large lot zoning that Ms. Ramundo, the Krumkill Road Association and their candi· dates still hope to implement after the November election.

The five options are: an Early Learning Center at one school, which all district kindergarteners would attend; a new innovative alternative elementary program for about 120 pupils; additions to one or more elementary schools; maximizing the use ·of existing space; and building a new school.

After the six groups reported back, the consensus was that

MONEY MATTERS by Thomas E. Brockley

First Vice President - tnvestments, Prudential Securites

Are annuities for you? If you would like an investment that grows tax-deferred until you

decide to withdraw it, consider annuities. · An· annuity is simply a contract between you and an insurance

company in which you deposit a sum of money that accumulates tax­deferred until you decide when you need income. You can choose to receive income when you desire or you can choose to receive regular payments, either for life or for a stated period of time.

Annuities may be suitable at any age, from retirees looking for deferred growth or current- income, to people who are middle-aged and looking forward to future income needs. In either of these scenarios, the annuity allows for the deferral of current taxes. Because the money you earn on your principal is not taxed until you ·P~gin collecting payments, your money can grow faster compared with other "investments offering current taxable income, thanks to the magic of tax-deferred compounding. At retirement, the annuity value has compounded quicker than a taxable investment offering a potentially greater value from which income could be withdrawn.

When income is withdrawn, earnings are subject to ordinary income tax.ln addition, if you withdraw earnings from a deferred annuity before age 59 1/2, there may be a ten percent IRS tax penalty on the earnings. Also, most annuities impose a charge for early withdrawals which exceed the annual withdrawal permitted as part oft he annuity contract. Therefore, purchasers should have enough liquid investments to ensure they will not need to withdraw funds prematurely from the annuity.

''People have long used annuities. as an ideal supplement to their retirement income from Social Security, company pension plans, IRAs or Keoughs.

Annuities are flexible and can be tailored to your needs. Following are some of the options available to you:

• Most of the annuities provide for current liquidity needs by allowing usually up to 10% of the invested income amount to be withdrawn annually with no insurance company charge. (A tax penalty may still apply.)

r;: ------.-- - ------ - ----- ;l • Annuities provide death coverage (guaranteed by the insurance

V company) that guarantees a minimum return of invested prirycipal (minus

I IEWS ON any withdrawals) if the owner of the annuity dies during the contract. . • You may choose to pay the premium in a lump sum (single-premium

I DENTAL annuity)overas many years as you wish (flexible-payment annuity). The 1 advantage of the single-premium is that the initial deposit of $5,000 or I · more accrues earnings immediately. The flexible-payment annuity allows

There will be several special programs, however, and all of the ongoing groups will conduct meetings.

Nimblefingers and Krazy Kwil­ters are eager to get together after the summer hiatus. The needle­workers will meet on Tuesday, Sept. 5, from 1 to 3 p.m. Now is a good time to join the group and share ideas for the winter months. There is always someone willing to offer assistance if you need help or want to learn a new technique, so bring a project to the meeting. New members are always wel­come.

The Friends Raffle and book sale raised approximately $1,000 last May to benefit the library.

In order to continue sponsor­ing this major fund-raiser, the Friends need more helping hands. A coordinator for the book sale is especially needed for next year.

If you can help, call president Mary Ann Morrison or a Friends' member or leave your name at the library. The Friends are now ac­tively involved in decorating the

s=~~--------------------------success for Joe Sapienza: no injuries and good luck By Mel Hyman

Voorheesville football coach Joseph Sapienza is cautiously optimistic about the upcoming season

"!think that if we stay healthy, we can be competitive," he said. "Size-wise, we're probably larger than the average Voorheesville team."

The Blackbirds begin their 1995 campaign with an away game at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 2, against Coxsackie-Athens High School. Voorheesville finished 1-7-1 in the Capital Football Confer­ence last year.

With 12 returning players, however, Sapienza expects that this year's team will fare much better. Senior quarterback Tom

Iarossi, who had knee surgery during the off-season, will key the offense.

"He played hurt last year with torn ligaments," Sapienza said. "! think last season was frustrating to him and all of us."

Sapienza said Iarossi has a "great arm" and the potential to be one of the "top passers in the league this year."

Many of his tosses will be di­rected toward receiver Brandon Emerick, who is returning for his third varsity season. Emerick .caught five touchdown passes in '94.

The defense should be greatly improved with all 11 members returning from last year's squad.

Tackle Art Mosley, who led the team in sacks last year, will also be counted on heavily.

On offense, "We're pretty big upfrontwithJesse Clement and John McGinty," Sapienza said. 'They'll anchor our offense. They did a lot of work during the offsea­son in our weight room."

Other key players include Lon Bullinger, who will be returning at fullback, and Sean Devine at tailback.

Sapienza is in his fourth season as head coach. He took over the reins in September 1992 after. coach Chuck Farley died unex­pectedly one week before the season began.

second floor wheelchair-acces­sible would be to install an eleva­tor, at an estimated cost of $300,000.

He proposed that an interior ramp system be built, at a cost of about $50,000, to make the first floor completely accessible.

Superintendent Leslie Loomis said that the ramp project could be considered as part of the long­range planning for elementary capacity.

He said that the district's archi­tect had prepared estimates for four of the five options to deal with anticipated enrollment increases at the elementary level.

The estimates adhered ·pretty closely to the $200,000 per class­room standard that the district has been working with for potential expansion of the middle and high schools, also to deal with higher enrollment.

The options for additions, a new Early Learning Center for all dis­trict kindergarten classes, or an

innovative elementary program all call for six to eight classrooms, at an estimated cost of $1.4 to $1.6 million.

The option of a new 600-pupil elementary school, at a cost of about $11· million, was deemed unlikely to receive state Educa­tion Department approval, since the district's enrollment is esti­mated to increase by only 120 pupils in the nextfiveyears.

The fifth option, maximizing use of existing space, would be the least expensive, but would also create "disadvantages for art and music" programs, Loomis noted. (See related story on Page 1.)

In a matter of interest to all district taxpayers, Zwicklbauer said that the district's tax rate for 1995-96 would be the same as predicted in May - $16.73 per thousand of assessed value for district residents in Bethlehem, and $16.80 per thousand for dis­trict residents in New Scotland. 1l1e rdles represents a 5.5 percent increase over 1994-95.

board,could get on the November ballot

Ramundo said she remains opposed to the project, which would add a 3,000-square-foot addition onto the current struc­ture.

"! could support the project if the numbers show it's fiscally responsible and will accommodate our growth for the next 10 years," she said.

Reilly replied that opponents of the addition are turning it into a political issue.

He said in a letter in today's Spotlight that avoiding the $111,000 estimated cost of repair­ing the existing town hall and the building department/ assessor office outside New Salem will substantially reduce the real cost of the addition.

According to Reilly, the net cost to the average property taxpayer will be less than a dollar a month over five years.

Decker, who wrested the Democratic nomination for super­visor away from longtime incum­bent Reilly, also opposed the proj­ect at the August board meeting, but said that she "needed some time to review the material pre­sented" at Monday's bid opening for the project.

Donohue said that he feels the

town board can make the decision on the addition, provided that the impact on taxpayers is minimal.

''The bottom line is that we do need the office space, and it will only be more expensive to build a few years down the road," he said.

At the bid opening, low bids for the four contracts mandated by the state's Wicks Law nearly matched the architect's estimate of$300,000 for the addition. There were six to 10 bidders on each contract.

The low bidders are: • Generalcontract-$224,000

by ].N. Futia Inc. of Albany. • Heating, ventilation and air

conditioning- $32,231 by Merit­M&B Plumbing & Heating of Albany.

• Plumbing - $11,222 by Rocco Rescelo & Son of Schenec­tady.

• Electrical - $31,500 by Halpin M&E of Loudonville.

Voters in New Scotland turned down a proposal for a new town hall in the early 1980s, and the existing structure was added onto in the mid-1980s without voter approval.

Referendums are not required for projects such as a ·town hall addition, but the town board may choose, or residents may petition, to put the issue on the ballot.

Deputies said that Halabuda · and Kieserman, using homemade equipment, tapped into a phone line at a residence where they thought no one was home in the early morning hours of Aug. 23.

The teens were allegedly using the line to talk to friends when the homeowner awoke, and tried to call 911, but could not bec·ause of the tap.

The homeowner then drove to the sheriff's station to report the incident, and deputies respond­ing to the house arrested Hala­buda and Kieserman.

The teens were released on appearance tickets, and are due to answer the charges in town court at a later date.

Proctor's hosts benefit performance

Capitol Steps climb heights of political satire By Joshua Kagan

Political satire isn't only found on late­night television.

The Capitol Steps, "the only group in Washington that attempts to be funnier than the Congress," will perform at Proctor's Theatre in Schenectady on Fri­day, Sept. 8, at 8 p.m. The event will ben­efit the Alliance for the Mentally Ill of New York State.

The Capitol Steps have recorded 15 albums inspired by Washington person-

alities and politics. These include two al­bums focusing on the Clinton administra­tion, "Lord of the Fries" and 'The Joy of Sax," and their latest, "A Whole Newt World."

The troupe performed in the area two years ago at another alliance fund-raiser.

"They are wonderful," Glenn Liebman, the alliance's acting executive director, said.'"We had a crowded auditorium two years ago, and no one left without laugh­ing hysterically."

The group is a collection of 20 former Congressional staffers, at least six of whom are on stage during a show. It was formed in 1981 when several staffers were asked to provide entertainment at a Sen­ate committee's Christmas party. The staffers wrote new lyrics based on hot topics of the time to familiar tunes ..

The political climate in Washington, D.C., lends itself to the troupe's act, ac­cording to co-founder Elaina Newport. ''Typically the Republicans goof, up, and the Democrats party. Then the ·Demo­crats goof up, and the Republicans party," she said. "That's what we call the two' party system."

The group's newest material includes "FiftyWaystoPeeve Your Leader" (to the · tune of Paul Simon's "Fifty Ways to Leave Your Lover"), inspired by Bob Dole, and "I've Taken Stands on Both Sides Now' (to the tune of]udy Collins' Sides

Now") inspired by President Bill Clinton.

The latter tune includes the lines: I've taken stands on both sides now On pro and con I've showed 'em how My views I always rea"ange That's why I said I stand for change

Capitol Steps has been featured on many television shows, including all three network morning news shows, "NBC Nightly News," "ABC World News To­night," "Nightline," "20/20" and "Enter­tainment Tonight." The group is also

regularly featured on CNN's "Inside Poli­tics.~

"It was so successful two years ago that we wanted to continue to work ·with them," said Liebman. 'There are a lot of people in the Capital District interested in politics, so it's great to have these guys."

Capital Steps tours the country and gives about 200 performances annually.

Liebman said he hoped about 1,500 people will attend the benefit. The alliance provides support for family and friends of mental illness patients, educates the pub, lie in mental illness and advocates change in the mental health system. It is a non­profit organization of more than 70 self­help and support groups for families and friends of people with mental illness.

There will be ~omplimentary hors d'oeuvres, desserts and beverages and a cash bar at the event.

Tickets cost from $20 to $100 each. A ticketfor $30 or more is for an inner circle seat at Proctor's. A ticket for $50 or more includes a reception with the performers after the program. Tickets may also be bought for $12.50 to be donated to the alliance for distribution to recipients of mental health services.

Proctor's Theatre is at 432 State St. in Schenectady.

For information, can the alliance at 462-2000.

The Capitol Steps will give a benefit performance at Proctor's Theatre on Friday, Sept. 8.

D Stop (From .Page 1)

"We want to slow traffic.com­ing into the development," said Denise Marbach of Wembly Court. She added that a stop sign on Yorkshire would protect chil­dren playing in the area.

Robert Peters, a member of the traffic safety committee, cited studies that stop signs do not reduce speeds because cars drive faster in between signs. "Stop signs don't cure anything," h~ said.

"We all have to police our chil­dren," another committee mem­ber, Doug Shanley, said. "Stop signs don't work like that."

"It might not control speed 100 percent, but there will -be some cases where people will slow down," which will make the area safer, Marbach said. "Technically; I'm sure the committee is correct.

But there are other factors be­yond the technical aspects."

Marbach also questioned the need for the signs proposed by the committee. She said one lot on the comer of Wedgewood and York­shire is now under construction. The development has eliminated some of the sight barriers present when the committee found sight­distance problems at the comer.

The sign on Wembly is not needed because the street is a cul­de-sac. '"The need for a stop sign on a cul-de-sac is questionable," she said.

Membersofthecommitteesaid the signs on Yorkshire Lane that the residents want are not needed.

"Most intersections in this town are worse that that," Vanderbilt said. "Why won't every resident with a comer that's any worse off feel they need a stop sign?"

The board had tabled the issue the first time it came up due to residents' opposition to the

committee's recommendations. The board put off a decision until its next meeting on Sept. 13.

"I think the board members want to take another look at the site," Supervisor Sheila Fuller said_

Some members of the commit­tee were frustrated with the de­lays and the possibility of a rejec-

lion oftheirproposal. "Why would the town board have traffic safety committee when if we make a recommendation, the board ig­nores it?" Peters asked.

"We appreciate all that you do," Fuller responded. "But sometimes we have to make difficult deci-

sions."

Also at the meeting, the board transferred $10,000 to the justice · department budget to fund the Youth Court and approved there­appointment of David I~afer as assessor for a six~year term.
